Thanks, Sarah. I’m always fascinated to see pictures of famous performers I’ve read about but in many cases had never seen. One wishes to turn back the clock and be able to enjoy one of her performances 🙂

Wouldn’t that be marvellous. I grew up with Ellen Terry, so to speak, and the lovely lady who cleaned for us had once been something like under house parlour maid in the actress’s home. Six degrees of separation!

I wonder if people still collect postcards? I recall them being popular a while back, on shows like Antiques Roadshow. If so, they would do well to collect your ‘Theatrical’ series.
Best wishes, Pete. x
